Why am I supposed to believe that ultimate wuss, Mitt Romney, who slavishly followed Obama on all social issues in their debates, was and is a true "conservative"—unlike the GOP outsider Donald Trump? If we're supposed to rage against Trump because he's for "big government," why didn't paid "conservative" spokesmen  go into a tizzy over earlier Republican presidential candidates and Republican presidents who were delighted to coexist with our expanding public administration? Even such a putative conservative hero as Ronald Reagan didn't get rid a single department of the federal government during his presidency; he actually increased their number.
